As per the report, the average global growth willimprove to 3.8% and that of Emerging and Developingcountries at about 4.7% in 2016.During the year under review, the Indian economy registereda GDP growth rate of 7.4% as per the economic survey tabledby the Government. The Index of Industrial Production in theyear 2014-15 was higher at 2.8% compared to (-) 0.1% in theprevious year. The growth recorded in the various sectors ofthe Indian economy has been detailed here below.

    Domestic GDP Growth

    FY-13 FY-14 FY-15

    Agriculture 1.2% 3.7% 1.1%

    Industry & Infrastructure 2.4% 4.5% 5.9%

    Manufacturing 6.2% 5.3% 6.8%

    India is the fourth largest producer of steel in the worldaccounting for a production of 88.12 Million Tons of finishedsteel in the year under review. The domestic steel industry isunable to reap full benefits from this upturn as there is a hugeimport especially from China, South Korea, Japan and Russia.This is evident from the fact that import of finished steel hasincreased in the second half of the year under review.

    Since our company is engaged in the production of specialand alloy steel long products, we will discuss about thoseindustries whose fortunes are directly affecting the alloy andstainless steel long product industry.

    The Indian Automobile growth story remains somewhat, intactthe overall sales across various automobile segments grewby 7%, while exports grew by 14%. Sales of passenger carsand commercial vehicles increased marginally in the yearunder report, while the sales of two and three wheelers werea meager 3% on account of slow growth in rural markets.

    According to the society of Indian Automobile manufactures,revenues of the Indian Automobile industry will raise five foldto hit the USD 300 Billion mark by the end of the financialyear 2026 i.e. in the next 10 years the annual growth isexpected to be around 24%.

    The year witnessed softening of almost all raw material pricesrequired for steel making. Prices of Nickel, Moly Oxide, FerroChrome, Shredded Scrap and Furnace Oil have all easedduring the year under review. Further, over production by Chinaand continued export from China contributed to fall in globalsteel prices.

    Steel market needs fresh policy and initiative to ensure theindustry follows a path that is sustainable when it comes tocapacity addition, environment, raw material sources, qualityof steel products and the use of technologies in steel making.

    During the year under review, the company could achieve thesale turnover of ̀ 32.57 Crores as compared to ̀ 71.72 Croresin the previous year. It is to be noted that the company hasdeclared a consensus lockout at its plant effective from 30/05/2014 as per the agreement reached with its workforce.Hence the performance of the company was adverselyaffected due to this closure which is continuing till date.

    In order to revive the operations, the company has beenengaged in scouting tie-ups with potential investors / strategicpartners who can introduce newer product portfolio in themarket and infuse capital in the company. The company isalso restructuring and rationalizing manpower and other fixed
